So while her husband is alive, she would be committing adultery if she married another man. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law and does not commit adultery when she remarries.

所以丈夫活着，她若归于别人，便叫淫妇；丈夫若死了，她就脱离了丈夫的律法，虽然归于别人，也不是淫妇。

所以丈夫还活着，她若跟了别的男人，就叫淫妇；丈夫若死了，她就脱离了律法，虽然跟了别的男人，也不是淫妇。

所以丈夫还活着，她若跟了别的男人，就叫淫妇；丈夫若死了，她就脱离了律法，虽然跟了别的男人，也不是淫妇。

丈夫还活着的时候，她若与别的男人发生性关系，便算淫妇。丈夫若死了，她就脱离了与丈夫的婚姻关系，即使改嫁，也不是淫妇。

所以，当丈夫还活着的时候，如果她归属别的男人，就称为淫妇；丈夫若死了，她就脱离了律法的约束，如果她归属别的男人，也不是淫妇。

由此可见，丈夫还活着的时候，她如果归向别的男人，就被称为淫妇；但如果丈夫死了，她就脱离那律法得了自由，即使归向别的男人，也不是淫妇。

所以丈夫活着，她若歸於別人，便叫淫婦；丈夫若死了，她就脫離了丈夫的律法，雖然歸於別人，也不是淫婦。

所以丈夫還活着，她若跟了別的男人，就叫淫婦；丈夫若死了，她就脫離了律法，雖然跟了別的男人，也不是淫婦。

所以丈夫還活着，她若跟了別的男人，就叫淫婦；丈夫若死了，她就脫離了律法，雖然跟了別的男人，也不是淫婦。

丈夫還活著的時候，她若與別的男人發生性關係，便算淫婦。丈夫若死了，她就脫離了與丈夫的婚姻關係，即使改嫁，也不是淫婦。

所以，當丈夫還活著的時候，如果她歸屬別的男人，就稱為淫婦；丈夫若死了，她就脫離了律法的約束，如果她歸屬別的男人，也不是淫婦。

所以丈夫還活着，她若歸於別的男人，便稱為淫婦；丈夫若死去，她就脫離了那法律而得自由了；歸於別的男人，也不是淫婦。

由此可見，丈夫還活著的時候，她如果歸向別的男人，就被稱為淫婦；但如果丈夫死了，她就脫離那律法得了自由，即使歸向別的男人，也不是淫婦。

是以夫在而他適者、謂之淫婦、夫死則見釋於律、雖他適不為淫、

夫在而他從、是謂淫婦、夫死則脫夫法、雖他從、不為淫、

夫在而從他人、是謂淫婦、夫死則釋於此法、雖從他人、不為淫婦、

其夫存而改適者、是謂不貞。若夫既死、則無復法律之拘束、雖再嫁亦不為失貞。

So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

But suppose that married woman sleeps with another man while her husband is still alive. Then she is called a woman who commits adultery. But suppose her husband dies. Then she is free from that law. She is not guilty of adultery if she marries another man.

Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.

So then, if she is married to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then, if she is married to another man, she is not an adulteress.

So then, if while her husband is alive she gives herself to another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress if she gives herself to another man.

“ You must not commit adultery.

But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman also commits adultery.

But‘ God made them male and female’ from the beginning of creation.‘ This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife,and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one,let no one split apart what God has joined together.”Later, when he was alone with his disciples in the house, they brought up the subject again.He told them,“ Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her.And if a woman divorces her husband and marries someone else, she commits adultery.”

“ If a man is discovered committing adultery, both he and the woman must die. In this way, you will purge Israel of such evil.“ Suppose a man meets a young woman, a virgin who is engaged to be married, and he has sexual intercourse with her. If this happens within a town,you must take both of them to the gates of that town and stone them to death. The woman is guilty because she did not scream for help. The man must die because he violated another man’s wife. In this way, you will purge this evil from among you.

As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.“ Teacher,” they said to Jesus,“ this woman was caught in the act of adultery.The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”

When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said,“ Praise the Lord, who has avenged the insult I received from Nabal and has kept me from doing it myself. Nabal has received the punishment for his sin.” Then David sent messengers to Abigail to ask her to become his wife.When the messengers arrived at Carmel, they told Abigail,“ David has sent us to take you back to marry him.”She bowed low to the ground and responded,“ I, your servant, would be happy to marry David. I would even be willing to become a slave, washing the feet of his servants!”Quickly getting ready, she took along five of her servant girls as attendants, mounted her donkey, and went with David’s messengers. And so she became his wife.

“ I hope I continue to please you, sir,” she replied.“ You have comforted me by speaking so kindly to me, even though I am not one of your workers.”

and has sex with another man, but neither her husband nor anyone else knows about it. She has defiled herself, even though there was no witness and she was not caught in the act.If her husband becomes jealous and is suspicious of his wife and needs to know whether or not she has defiled herself,the husband must bring his wife to the priest. He must also bring an offering of two quarts of barley flour to be presented on her behalf. Do not mix it with olive oil or frankincense, for it is a jealousy offering— an offering to prove whether or not she is guilty.“ The priest will then present her to stand trial before the Lord.He must take some holy water in a clay jar and pour into it dust he has taken from the Tabernacle floor.When the priest has presented the woman before the Lord, he must unbind her hair and place in her hands the offering of proof— the jealousy offering to determine whether her husband’s suspicions are justified. The priest will stand before her, holding the jar of bitter water that brings a curse to those who are guilty.The priest will then put the woman under oath and say to her,‘ If no other man has had sex with you, and you have not gone astray and defiled yourself while under your husband’s authority, may you be immune from the effects of this bitter water that brings on the curse.But if you have gone astray by being unfaithful to your husband, and have defiled yourself by having sex with another man—’“ At this point the priest must put the woman under oath by saying,‘ May the people know that the Lord’s curse is upon you when he makes you infertile, causing your womb to shrivel and your abdomen to swell.Now may this water that brings the curse enter your body and cause your abdomen to swell and your womb to shrivel.’ And the woman will be required to say,‘ Yes, let it be so.’And the priest will write these curses on a piece of leather and wash them off into the bitter water.He will make the woman drink the bitter water that brings on the curse. When the water enters her body, it will cause bitter suffering if she is guilty.“ The priest will take the jealousy offering from the woman’s hand, lift it up before the Lord, and carry it to the altar.He will take a handful of the flour as a token portion and burn it on the altar, and he will require the woman to drink the water.If she has defiled herself by being unfaithful to her husband, the water that brings on the curse will cause bitter suffering. Her abdomen will swell and her womb will shrink, and her name will become a curse among her people.But if she has not defiled herself and is pure, then she will be unharmed and will still be able to have children.“ This is the ritual law for dealing with suspicion. If a woman goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority,or if a man becomes jealous and is suspicious that his wife has been unfaithful, the husband must present his wife before the Lord, and the priest will apply this entire ritual law to her.The husband will be innocent of any guilt in this matter, but his wife will be held accountable for her sin.”

The younger widows should not be on the list, because their physical desires will overpower their devotion to Christ and they will want to remarry.Then they would be guilty of breaking their previous pledge.And if they are on the list, they will learn to be lazy and will spend their time gossiping from house to house, meddling in other people’s business and talking about things they shouldn’t.So I advise these younger widows to marry again, have children, and take care of their own homes. Then the enemy will not be able to say anything against them.

“ If a man commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, both the man and the woman who have committed adultery must be put to death.
